The founding Haplogroup X is present in the Near East, the Caucasus, and Mediterranean Europe; and somewhat less present in the rest of Europe. Particular concentrations appear in Georgia (8%), the Orkney Islands in Scotland (7%) ....

"Research published in 2014 suggests that a Mal'ta like people were important genetic contributors to the American Indians, Europeans, and central and south Asians but did not contribute to and was not related to East Eurasians. Mal'ta had a type of R* y-dna that diverged before the hg R1 and R2 split and an unresolved clade of haplogroup U mtdna. Between 14 and 38 percent of American Indian ancestry may originate from gene flow from the Mal'ta Buret people, while the other geneflow in the Native Americans appears to have an Eastern Eurasian origin. Sequencing of another south-central Siberian (Afontova Gora-2) dating to approximately 17,000 years ago, revealed similar autosomal genetic signatures as Mal'ta boy-1, suggesting that the region was continuously occupied by humans throughout the Last Glacial Maximum."
